Novak Djokovic

Tennis player Novak Djokovic has spoken candidly about his traumatic childhood growing up in war-torn Serbia.

Stakhovsky reached out to the tennis community to help financially support the Ukrainian armed forces and a few players including Djokovic answered his calls. Sergiy Stakhovsky, the former world No. 31 and the man who ended Federer’s historic streak for an eighth Wimbledon crown in 2013, was vacationing with his family in Dubai when the war began. Now though he has a new “philosophy of life.” “In 1999, when we had the bombings, we lived in an apartment 500 feet from here,” Djokovic explained. “We would come to this building every single night of (the) bombing because our building did not have a shelter … People would just hide in corners and try to find a safe space … It was a horrifying experience for everyone. My mom was carrying other stuff and that’s when I slipped.

Deuce. That’s out though from Van Rijthoven, third set point coming up. Djokovic leads two sets to one! And Djokovic moves a break up in the fourth set! Net cord pops the ball up perfectly for Van Rijthoven to put the ball away - he sends a forehand halfway up the net from a few feet away. Djokovic flicks it crosscourt, Van Rijthoven can’t make the volley into the empty court. Still not enough, Van Rijthoven with the put-away at the net. Looked to have done enough with the forehand, but Djokovic somehow stretched to make him hit an overheard. Rare missed return from Djokovic - lands just beyond the baseline. Again there’s not enough patience from Van Rijthoven - got bored of the slice battle and then slaps a forehand long. Sublime from Djokovic, drop shot is just too good and Van Rijthoven can’t chase it down. Van Rijthoven is making his Grand Slam debut and has made an immediate impact, knocking out seeds Nikoloz Basilashvili and Reilly Opelka to reach this stage. Sensational from the top seed and he marches on.

"I lost the rhythm on my serve a little bit towards the end of the match, but overall just a good fight and really challenging match for me on grass." "He's maturing a lot on the big stage. Attacking the Dutchman's backhand corner, Djokovic secured an instant break in the fourth set to quell any thoughts of a turnaround. He made just two unforced errors in the third set as he found his groove on return, eliminating the free points that served to boost van Rijthoven's confidence in the early stages. I got into his service rhythm, started reading his serve better in the third and fourth sets."

#Wimbledon This #Djokovic level in the 3rd set against Van Rijthoven is breathtaking and scary at the same time. They've faced off at an ATP Tour event just once, with Djokovic claiming a straight-set victory in the 2021 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. The only source of drama was whether Djokovic would have the win wrapped up before the 11 p.m. curfew. Instead, he was brutally efficient against Van Rijthoven in the third to reassert control. Djokovic after losing the 2nd set #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/A0aWVtic6L He then earned a critical break later in the set to jump ahead 4-3. Van Rijthoven displayed impressive resilience to level the match. Damn, Van Rijthoven is good...maybe not beat-Djokovic-good...but really good...And what a pity the guy gets zero ranking points - ie. Djokovic had little time for Van Rijthoven's Cinderella story in the first set. he'll still have to qualify for events - after this. Van Rijthoven upset No. 15 Reilly Opelka in the second round and took down No. 22 Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets in the third round.

His pursuit of a fourth consecutive, and seventh overall, title at Wimbledon, not to mention a 21st major championship, will continue Tuesday against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner of Italy. “It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace.” Didn't matter that the spectators, who love an underdog, were getting louder and louder as the second set came to a close. Soon enough, the third set was his, and not much later, so was the fourth, and the match, a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 result that gave the tournament's No. 1 seed a 25th consecutive grass-court victory at the All England Club and a place in his 13th Wimbledon quarterfinal. Didn't matter that van Rijthoven kept cranking out huge serves, to the tune of 20 aces, including a pair on second serves. Didn't matter just how big the cuts were that van Rijthoven took with his forehands. He had all the answers.” Didn't matter that Djokovic stumbled behind what he called a "slippery" baseline twice, landing first on his backside, later on his left knee and stomach. Glad I did.” “It's never really pleasant if you can't finish the match in the same day. All of nine minutes later, the time it took Djokovic to grab 12 of the next 15 points, and the next three games, both plausibility and possibility took a hike.

Novak Djokovic came through a stern examination, as he beat Tim van Rijthoven to book his place in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon.

A second break followed in the seventh game, and victory was secured one game later. Everything was returned, and most of it with interest as he wrapped it up in 30 minutes. Van Rijthoven backed up the break and two games later served out the set, but did it the hard way. In Van Rijthoven, he came up against a rising talent with a big serve and an array of shots. Van Rijthoven was highly touted as a junior before his career was derailed by a series of injuries. “I have never faced him before,” Djokovic said.

I think it would be quite helpful to finish matches maybe not using the roof.' I think it was necessary to celebrate the hundred years of Centre Court. For me it was an honour. There have been private gripes throughout the first week about the late start and the associated consequence of matches finishing under the roof. 'Also the time between the matches, you almost certainly, if you're scheduled last on the Centre, you're going to end up a match under the roof, which changes the conditions, the style of play, the way you move on the court. 'But he has told me there's some talks about eventually approaching this issue a bit differently. I don't know whether he has heard it from them.

CARLOS ALCARAZ lost to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon fourth round.

It was saved with a 127mph serve from the 19-year-old but Sinner successfully challenged a ball to deny Alcaraz a game point. Alcaraz saved both but - just like in the third set tiebreak - Sinner wowed the crowd with a cross-court forehand winner and set up his fifth match point. An error from the fifth seed's racket gave the Italian a match point but he dumped the ball in the net again. There were no minibreaks as the young stars changed ends at 3-3 but it was Sinner who was first to crack as he served from the other end, failing to get the ball over the net to gift Alcaraz a 4-3 lead and he held twice to set up three set points. And Alcaraz found himself facing three break points immediately at the start of the third but rallied to hold for 1-0, hitting three winners en route in what looked to be something of a turning point for the Spaniard who started to look more like his usual self. But it was Sinner who got off to a stronger start, breaking the fifth seed for a 3-1 lead in the opener.

« Je ne vois pas pourquoi les matches ne commenceraient pas plus tôt, a expliqué Djokovic.

Lorsque vous êtes programmé en dernier sur le Central ou le Court n° 1, cela se transforme en tournoi indoor dans la plupart des cas.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC just managed to get his fourth-round match against Tim van Rijthoven finished before the 11pm curfew in place at Wimbledon.

Also the time between the matches, you almost certainly, if you're scheduled last on the Centre, you're going to end up a match under the roof, which changes the conditions, the style of play, the way you move on the court. Djokovic played his entire match under the Centre Court lights and he feels conditions are completely different on the grass surface when the roof is closed. But Wimbledon have long seen matches on their main two courts go deep into the night, particularly when there is a five-set tie. Wimbledon have stuck to tradition over the years, starting play on the main two courts at 1pm and 1.30pm respectively. Heather Watson didn't step out onto court until 2.08pm and that had a knock-on effect throughout the day. On the outside courts, play starts at 11am, meaning most matches are all finished by early evening.

Novak Djokovic said his son had won his first tournament on the same day he won the Italian Open.

Six-times Wimbledon champion Djokovic will face Italian 10th seed Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals. “I try to use every available opportunity … to play with him because he’s right now fully immersed into tennis,” Djokovic told reporters after his win over Tim van Rijthoven at Wimbledon on Sunday. “Everything around tennis, how he can play, he’s watching, he’s analysing. “But it’s too early to speak about it, to be honest.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC's seven-year-old son has been joining him on the Wimbledon practice courts.

“Of course I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be professional tennis player if he intends to, if he really wants to,” Djokovic said. We're talking.” And the seven-year-old’s newfound love for tennis was so deep that it seemed he couldn’t stop asking his dad questions. I'm trying to teach him to finish the hand here, the swing, over the shoulder.” “I try to use every available opportunity, possibility, time to play with him because he's right now fully immersed into tennis. The reigning Wimbledon champion’s seven-year-old son is “in love” with tennis and has already won a children’s tournament this year. The world No 3 has now revealed that his son’s choice of technique was intentional.

Novak Djokovic during the interview also spoke about having a father-son relationship and allowing his son Stefan to get exposed to the various sport.

It's an honour to play in front of you." Following the victory, Novak Djokovic paid a special tribute to tennis great Billie-Jean King who was swatching the match. I feel like it's very important to have, particularly at this young age, a lot of stimulus to the children from different perspectives and different sports and different movement, different activities." Djokovic in his speech said, "Thanks for stating this late to watch tennis. Djokovic during the interview also spoke about having a father-son relationship and allowing his son Stefan to get exposed to the various sport. Recently, Djokovic shared a picture of himself and his son hitting a forehand.

Novak Djokovic has said that he would support an eventual wish from his son to play tennis but he considers it way too early to think about it.

I feel like it’s very important to have, particularly at this young age, a lot of stimulus to the children from different perspectives and different sports and different movement, different activities. I feel like it’s important to try different things because it will help the development of the brain and also motoric skills”. “Of course, I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be professional tennis player if he intends to, if he really wants to. Last night when I was putting him to bed, he was asking me questions: What is the difference between the racquet head sizes, the strings, why somebody is stringing less tension, all these basic questions that kids are very curious about”, he explained. I never force him to be on the tennis court, but if he wants, I try to always make myself ready to be there and play with him”. “I try to use every available opportunity, possibility, time to play with him because he’s right now fully immersed into tennis.

The reigning champion's fourth-round match against Tim van Rijthoven on Centre Court on Sunday began at 8pm and finished just before 11pm.

DURING the Wimbledon Centre Court Centenary celebration, Novak Djokovic shed some light on a conversation he had with six-time champion Billie Jean King.

I have had some previous experience of playing a match over two days under the roof against [Rafa] Nadal a couple of years back and it wasn't fun, so I am glad I did get it done and now I am just looking forward to the next challenge." "It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace and the conditions under the roof, but overall I closed out the match well. In the process, Djokovic set up a mouth-watering clash with Jannik Sinner, who knocked out teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz. "He was a very tough opponent," said Djokovic of his Dutch opponent sealing victory.
